Bilstein 6112

+4......the reason in all honesty was due to the fact that it was $2 more and no downside for being 2 inches longer.

 

Yea. I noticed that it was just $2 difference. Thanks.

 

Just installed the coils(600lb) from the 6112 kit. Bought from someone who upgraded to 700lb spring rate. I purchased just the coils to replace my broken coils on my 2015 TRD Pro shocks. Which is similar to the 6112 shocks. After installing these coils it raised the front by 1” and it rides a lot stiffer than before. From what I read the 2015 TRD Pro spring rate is 600lbs. Does anyone have this same part number on their coils that have 600lbs?

 

Pretty sure those are 700lb springs by the process of emilination. 600 are E4-FD1-Y005B29 and 650s are Z562B00

 

Truck looks great is that the are overland shell?

 

Dang, anyone have an available 600lb and willing to trade for 700lb? lol

 

Thank you. Yes, sir. ARE Overland. Still working well.

 

man if i had the bumper i want to get in the future, would be tempting!

 

Good luck. Lol. I would imagine not to many people have setup. Just buy the 700lbs and sell the 600lbs. They would fit any coilover setup for the tacoma. Should be an easy sell.

 

Yeah ill probably have to sell. If not i would just keep for future use if i get full armor up front.

 

I am taking off my 600lb springs and moving to 650lb springs this week. You want my 600's?

 

I am wondering if they are 600lb springs because bilstein had two separate numbers for 600lb springs, one for the 2nd's and one for the 3rd gen's in the 6112's. I just checked my second gen springs and I couldn't find a number on them but they are caked with mud though.

 

Hmm..not sure if its 600LB. All the research i did for the 15' trd pro spring rate was 600LB. But im still trying to find out what these are.

 

Im def interested!

 

Just email bilstein Junior.Africa@thyssenkrupp.com
Will most likely reply. I asked him if I had the 650lb spring for re assurance.

 

This is a FYI for everyone that has 6112's. I just received the new upgraded 650lb Bilstein springs to get installed in my 6112's. The normal 6112's come from the factory with 600lb springs and these are the RECOMMENDED (from bilstein themselves not a 4x4 shop) to upgrade you 6112's for more weight. This answers the question of the 650 vs 700lb debate. @littlefish

 

Ordered mine last night once I got home after we talked.

 

Just for the hell of it, I called all the online stores that didn't list their 5160 for the left side as out of stock. They were all indeed out of stock, but it was worth the try. I called Bilstein and the rep said right now their ETA is late July / early August. But from what I'm hearing, the date always gets pushed off and is always about a month ahead. The rep also said that they don't recommend installing two rights. When I asked him if the only difference in the two was the brake line spacer, he changed his tune. At first he said that's the only difference, but then also said that "they're different for a reason", and that they could be tuned differently. I'm not sure if I believe that though. So I don't know. Maybe I'll keep waiting. Maybe I'll do two rights with the longer brake lines. Brake fluid could use a change anyways.

 

Ok, here is a thought. What exactly do you want to do to the rear of the truck suspension wise. Dakars? AAL? Heavy vs medium? Weight in the back? Height? Tire size? The reason why I am asking is due to maybe going with a simple shock in the rear like a OME, bilstein 5100 or even a bilstein b110 if you are going higher and then upgrade when they are in stock. Yes more money but easy to change out.

 

I've got the medium duty Dakars sitting on the floor of my garage now. Only weight over the rear wheels is anything from the sliders and then the bed rack and roof top tent which don't live on the truck. Plus camping equipment, hi-lift, and 7 gallons of extra gas for longer trips.
